I was going to get my other half to go to the AGM as we love trains. But I can't get time off in August - too many on leave! <br />Would've loved to have seen Linda's photos, having been to Graz and Vienna this year. <br /><br />Anyway I saw in Saturday's Journal that North Tyneside Horticulture and Health Show this weekend is having a new Class - and will give the Alison J Best Trophy for Floral Art. They commissioned a glass trophy in Alison's memory and it will be awarded every year. The article's not on their website so I'll try to scan it, maybe email it to Ian if he could put it on the blog. The Show is at the Parks Sports Centre, Howdon Road, North Shields Saturday 1.15pm to 5.15pm, Sunday 10.30am to 3pm. <br />The show has all of the traditional classes of veg, fruit, flowers, baking and arts and crafts. It reminds me of when my grandma used to put her cakes and jam into a show at Prudhoe Street mission, behind M&S.<br /><br />Hoping to be around a bit more when our summer visitors fly south for the winter.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902562203759909923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-31368247068897359102011-08-16T21:59:10.787+01:002011-08-16T21:59:10.787+01:00You are such a good girl, Ellie,

I've been there today and I'm still recovering from the rush....it lasted from 11am until I closed up at 4pm! Then I had to sort out everything for tomorrow. I'm back there Tuesday & I guess they'll want me to cover the Farmers' Market next Saturday too. My one off offer of help seems to have escalated into an expectation of me working twice monthly at the Farmers's Markets as well as my regular Tuesdays, and occasional Sundays!!! It's a good thing that I don't have much of a life outside of Gibside!!!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing your photos Linda. I'm glad to know you are back with us again.<br /><br />Lots of love to you all,<br /><br />Vivienne xxxViviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13880188531647059095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-51297340095644004452011-08-14T16:10:50.105+01:002011-08-14T16:10:50.105+01:00Hi Linda .....

Come in and sit down .... have a cup of tea ... how's your bad leg, pet?<br />Nowadays , Truckshunters seem to send emails to Ian ... rather than come on the blog and talk amongst themselves. I wish they still posted comments on here. I'm always hoping people like Peter in South Shields and Dave Shannon would turn up here .... not to mention our old regulars like Maureen and Vivienne and Lawrence and Kev and Anonymous and the one who looks like a pilot and I think there's one called Martin ....<br />and Gerry .... you see it gets quite lonely here on the blog for me and Sid these days. <br />So, you do know now I'm pleased to see you, Linda, don't you? Looking forward to<br />the 24th at Tanfield Railway ...<br />if you haven't done so already, come and join the gang you truckshunters out there. <br /><br />hildaflood@hotmail.comHildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859247954480595473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-60231785255588172682011-08-13T00:12:10.574+01:002011-08-13T00:12:10.574+01:00La Grierson is back !I can hear rejoicings across ...La Grierson is back !I can hear rejoicings across the North East as you all celebrate my return to the Truckshunter blog.

Thanks Dave Shannon!<br /><br />I'm sure I've written on the blog about this before .... in a similar vein to the Kulula Airways announcements , there are regular amusing announcements made at Leicester railway station by one particular announcer .... he treats the rail travellers to his <br />'Thought for the Day' and,as they hang about the station platform, he treats them to various snippets of trivia, the like of which has only ever been heard on Ian's 'Nightshift' programme.<br />We ought to plan to get off the train there one day .... <br />Truckshunter Heaven!<br /><br />Hope you are having a fabulous time in New York, Ian ....<br />looking forward to hearing ALL<br />about it!Hildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859247954480595473noreply@blogger.com
